A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 397

Do You Plan On Managing Genesis and the Alston Family?

Amelie finally left work at 11.00PM after wrapping everything up.

“Miss Dillon,” Eugene greeted her as he walked toward her.

She was surprised to see him. “Why haven’t you left yet?”

“Mm.” His reply was brief.

“Let’s go down,” she said after pressing the elevator button.

With that, both of them entered the escalator and headed toward the underground car park. After
opening the car door to let her in, he sat in the passenger seat.

“Are you heading home?” he asked as he turned around.

The car was dark, and the light from the streetlamps that came in through the window reflected on her
calm yet fair face. Since the light was dim, Eugene couldn’t tell whether she was asleep or not. Seeing
that she was silent, he quietly turned to look to the front.

“I don’t want to go home yet.”

As soon as Eugene turned over, Amelie’s voice rang. She had been staring out of the window earlier
on.

Just then, she shifted her gaze forward and massaged her temples before replying, “I’d like to go
there.”

“But it’s late at night.” He knew where she was referring to and couldn’t help but remind her. However,
he didn’t get a response.



With that, he looked over to the driver and said, “To the hospital.”

As soon as Amelie arrived at the hospital, she received a call from Julia. “Are you home?” she asked.

“Nope,” Amelie answered while slowing down her footsteps.

Hearing that, Julia acknowledged her answer and asked, “Are you at the hospital?”

“Yes.” Following that, there was a brief pause.

“How… How is he?”

“Same old.” Amelie looked into the distance calmly with the phone in her hand.

Julia hummed in response. She wanted to say something else but ended up saying, “Please take good
care of yourself.”

“I will.” Amelie knew that Julia was concerned about her and added with a smile on her face, “Don’t
worry, I’m fine.”

Even so, Julia’s heart ached for her as she said, “You are not responsible for the incident, so don’t be
too hard on yourself.”

“Mm.” Amelie pursed her lips, and a trace of sorrow could be seen on her face. She looked down and
stared at her toes as she tried to suppress her emotions. Since it was already late at night, Julia ended
the call soon after asking Amelie to rest early.

As soon as the call ended, Amelie turned around and instructed Eugene, “You should go home now
since it’s late. Your wife and children must be waiting for you.”

Eugene didn’t budge, for he couldn’t bear to leave her there.



“The driver will be here,” she said while pointing at the car in the distance. The driver was a female who
knew martial arts, so she was a driver cum bodyguard.

“Alright.” Eugene nodded and left. He knew that Amelie wanted to be alone.

She stood downstairs for a while before heading to the ward on the highest floor as it started to get
cold. The ward gave off a homey atmosphere; if it wasn’t for the medicine bottles on the table, one
would mistake it for someone else’s abode. The blankets were fluffy, and the warm lighting made the
atmosphere feel cozy. A nurse in a pastel blue uniform was looking down and arranging something by
the pillow. She greeted Amelie upon spotting her.

“Thank you,” Amelie responded.

“No worries.” The nurse nodded and left the room.

After the nurse left, Amelie’s gaze fell on the bed. Under the sheets, a man with well-defined features
was lying on the bed. Since his eyes were shut, he seemed gentle and not solemn like he usually was.
He lay still with pursed lips as if he was just asleep. However, no one would be asleep for three months
straight.

She slowly walked over to the bed and stared at his face after taking a seat. “Leo,” she called out
gently.

Three months ago, after Leo stabbed himself in the chest to divert Chandler’s attention and save
Amelie, he underwent emergency heart surgery. The surgery was successful, but he fell into a coma
due to the trauma.

For the first two months, Leo had undergone treatment overseas in secret, but it didn’t help much with
his condition. It was only a month ago when he was transferred back. Meanwhile, Amelie returned a
month earlier to run the show at Genesis.



Ever since Leo was injured, Melissa was put in charge of Genesis. However, as soon as she took on
the position, the company was in chaos as many problems had arisen. She was nearly scammed once,
and it almost caused Genesis to change hands. Due to such issues, Amelie had no choice but to return
to the country and manage the company on Leo’s behalf.

It took her two months to finally put the company back on track. Of course, she had been through a lot
during that period, but fortunately, she managed to protect the company and even helped it grow, which
helped to reduce the guilt she was harboring.

The news about Leo in a coma was kept away from the public, and they only knew that he was
accompanying his daughter overseas. Both Amelie and Leo, who were supposed to go their separate
ways, had ended up in this current situation. Amelie smiled bitterly at the thought of it.

…

The next day, Amelie was awakened by Eugene.

“You didn’t go home last night. Will you be fine?” He looked at her concernedly.

“I’m fine.” With that, she went to the toilet to freshen up. Since she had been leaning on Leo’s bed the
whole night, her neck felt sore and she had a stuffy nose.

“Give me today’s schedule,” she asked. She looked refreshed after washing up.

Hearing that, Eugene opened the notebook and started reading from it. After reading everything, he
looked at her and said, “Melissa called me earlier, and she was hoping that you’d drop by her place
tonight.”

“Okay,” replied Amelie as she nodded with a frown on her face.



At noon, she signed a big project. As soon as she exited the clubhouse after securing the deal, she
bumped into Toby. He happened to enter the venue and waved at her when he saw her. He then turned
over, spoke to his team, and walked toward her after they had left. Amelie was in a daze when she
noticed the metal tie pin on his white suit.

“I never thought that I’d bump into you here,” Toby said with a smile, his personality as warm as ever.

“Mm,” she answered.

“You seem quieter than before. Is it because you’ve been too tired?” Toby looked at her while he spoke.
He was one of the people who knew about Leo’s injury, so he naturally knew that Amelie was
managing Genesis on behalf of Leo.

“I’m fine,” she replied politely.

Hearing that, he pursed his lips. “I visited Leo yesterday. About his condition… I’m sure that the doctors
would have told you about it. Do you plan on managing Genesis and the Alston Family for the rest of
your life if Leo never wakes up?” He looked at her concernedly.

He knew how capable she was from how she had established Starlight Media and Knowlit to being a
social media influencer. All of these would help her manage Genesis well. He also knew that she loved
her freedom. If not, she wouldn’t have let Julia manage the company that she had established.

“Maybe,” Amelie answered softly.

Toby felt bad for her when he saw how calm she was. In the end, he told her, “Let me know if you need
any help.”

“I will.” She nodded at him and didn’t say anything else. After their conversation ended, he entered the
clubhouse with a heavy heart.



“Isn’t the woman from earlier on Amelie? She’s Leo’s ex-wife, and they got divorced.” A few of the
Walsh siblings and Toby’s uncle were in the clubhouse. They remembered Amelie since Toby and her
used to pretend to be a couple. On top of that, she was also Leo’s ex-wife. Toby nodded upon hearing
the question.

“Toby, that’s so smart of you to get close to Leo’s ex-wife now that Leo is in a coma. What’s more, no
one from the Alston Family can manage Genesis. You should find a way to seize the company.” Toby’s
uncle was impressed by him and gave him two thumbs up.

Hearing that, Toby’s expression tensed up. “Leo is my best friend. I will never kick him when he is
down, so don’t even think about it!”

“Why so serious, Toby? In business, there are no friends. What’s more, it is still unknown whether Leo
will wake up or not.”

“Exactly. Someone else will be eyeing Genesis even if we don’t. Why shouldn’t we do it?” Both of
Toby’s cousins chimed in as they couldn’t agree more with their uncle.

The furious Toby suddenly slammed the table, his expression grim. “Listen carefully. This will be the
last time I’m saying this—I will never seize and take ownership of Genesis. If anyone dares to do that, it
will mean that you are going against me!”

Toby’s cousins wanted to protest, but their uncle shot them a look and nudged them. Although Toby’s
decision didn’t sit well with them, they kept quiet after seeing how adamant Toby was about it.

…

It was already 7.00PM when Amelie finished work. She had to postpone a work dinner to go to the
Alston Residence. Upon her arrival, Leila was seen coming out with a doctor.



“What happened? Who has fallen sick?” Amelie walked over and asked.

Hearing that, Leila looked at her and sighed.
